That would be so awesome.  They need to make sure the design of the stand funnels noise to the pitch, whilst the away end funnels noise away from it.  We need a designed home advantage.

I thought I saw the new Town End would be 5000 seats so must be another 3000+ on the current capacity. Take up to about 17,500 to 18,000.

I think that is pure speculation. At the Trust AGM last night, the Club CEO said that they have yet to ask architects to propose plans for each element of the redevelopment. Oh, and when asked about safe standing, he said they would be considering it but it would reduce capacity and cost more.

It was the Trust AGM pack that said a new Town End of up to 5000.

If you look at the top of the page of the pack it does say "DRAFT COUNTY GROUND VISION EXAMPLE", the only thing thats in the contract I believe is the Stratton Bank Development within 3 years.

It would be a great shame if the new Town End didn't have at least a tier of safe standing, even if it had seats above. Odd that that would reduce capacity, but even then, I'd still be pushing for it.

What is the Goddard Covenant? Is that where the land has to be used for sporting purposes?
I see a refurb of the Arkells is planned in 25/26.

Yes. It could be overturned and amended to the title deeds, however, it would take a legal process and agreement of the trustees to the Goddard estate to do this, highly, highly unlikely.

The Arkells refurb is an interesting one.

It would be to enable the club to add in the things like Hotel, conferencing etc as there is a covenant that says the ground can only be used for sport.

Its obviously many years old and probably needs to be updated, but maybe the problem would be finding out who the trustee's are after all these years.

Now the club will own the whole ground, including car park areas they have the ability to expand out.

There is a register for trustees to trusts.

Literally any new stadium that boasts about its design helping the atmosphere I've ever seen, has done the opposite. Think they even said it about Wembley in some of the blurb.

Sadly, I agree.  But it is doable, and we must.
